Shade a babe vs Koo-Di Pack-It Stroller shade ??

Anyone got experience of both of these and know which is best. The shade a babe is much more expensive and seems if you lie child flat they get sun in their eyes.

The Koo-Di Pack-It Stroller shade seems to work better from the reviews.

Anyone got experience?

No experience, but I have bought a Shade-a-Babe and am now worried that it will not block out enough sunlight I'd be interested to see what people post about this.

I have been looking at the Koo-Di and also the SnoozeShade here which is a complete blackout shade...

I'm not sure which is best but I don't think I cn return my Shade-a-Babe as I bought it ages ago...

Hi - not sure about the Shade-a-Babe but I've been using the Koo-di Sun & Sleep Shade for two years now (my youngest is almost a year) and find it fantastic - particularly with the weather in England being so unpredictable. It was really inexpensive (can't remember exactly how much I paid, but about £15 I think).

The best thing about it is that it packs up so small (it comes in a little bag)so I just keep it in the pushchair tray all the time in case I need it. Before I used a parasol which is a nightmare when it's really sunny as you have to keep moving it around to make sure that baby isn't in the sun. This covers the pushchair so the baby is fully protected (it's also great to help them go to sleep as it makes the pushchair dark and cosy!) I think the Koo-di will fit most pushchairs (I have a light weight buggy for the car as well as a more substantial pushchair and it fits both). Would definately recommend.

Hello, I was given a koo-di sun and sleep shade to my by my sister (who is a baby guru!) and it really is fab.

I used to mess around with a parasol, which nearly drove me insane, having to twist it this way and that way every time I turned a corner! However the koo-di sun and sleep shade totally covers your baby and protects him from the sun.

I also like to use it when shopping as it gets him to sleep - no lights distracting him and waking him up! So I would recommend.

Interested in this thread?

One more reccomendation for the koo-di here. Covers the LO completely and I think it blocks more UVA/UVB than the shade a babe.

We use ours everyday love it, so much easier than umbrellas or extended hood things.

Hmm I just checked out the Baby Peace - I'm sorry but it is ridiculously overpriced for what it is - I am shocked at the RRP.

I am selling a shade a babe if you did want one. And a protect a bub shade.

Sorry, hope I am allowed to post that - just saw it and thought i would mention Blush

Another vote for a Koo-di here! I love mine - and the fact that it is also like a blackout blind means DD sleeps really well in it too.
